Book Review


My Life in France--I decided I had better read about Julia Child before my mind wandered away from the topic so I picked up this book from the library. Like the title says, it really just covers her life in France so there's nothing about her childhood. She wrote this book with some help when she was in her 90's and I think it was finished just a little before she passed away. I was totally blown away by the details she provided. It's not the most fascinating life story ever but she could recount specific meals in great detail from dinners that happened about 60 years earlier. She must have kept some sort of log of her meals to be able to have that kind of recall. Either way, it's pretty impressive.
